I think Vinny deserves a big pat on the back for his great editing.

I would not object to seeing advertisements appear in a video before the actual feature 'film' as it were began. I mean IGN do it and I have no problem with that and I'm sure others wouldn't either.

@Hamz:
I wouldnt mind either

And does this mean GB is one big experiment, devoted to finding how to get people interested in videos?
I dont mind being Vinny's guinea pig, but im curious

I don't really have a problem with having ads before videos, provided they're relevant OR completely batshit crazy like Swiffer ads just for pure irony.

It's become Epic... casual, hardcore and stories being told. Just let the stories be told... in video games.

keep the edits awesome, the commentary funny, and an over all feeling that one has learned something or been entertained and the numbers will stay that way.

It's pretty awesome to be able to see stats like that. Very cool about that 68%.  However, with content as epic as it is on Giantbomb, I can't say i'm that surprised.

Man you can tell that Whiskey Media blog is from a while ago (I read it at least a coupla months back) cuz it describes Endurance Run eps as about 20 mins, when the avg now is probably somewhere near an hour

Yeah I read this a bit back, pretty great stat-tracking. Also it pays homage to Vinny and the crew's great work on videos. Props to you all.


Also, I think the average length of videos is kind of unbalanced by the ERs, the length is probably higher average at this point.

Good job Vinny and Drew. Videos are always great, that's why we watch them.

That article was published on March 26th, before the episodes got as long as they have.

That's actually pretty interesting. Would be cool to see how the stats have changed now that the E.R's are about an hour long. Are less people watching the whole thing? Have more people gotten hooked to the awesome combo that is Vinny and Jeff?

How can people NOT get hooked on Vinny & Jeff's commentary is the question we should be asking.

Same here and their products focus on quantity, not quality.

I think GB understands what videos on a site should be, unlike every other site that uses video as a "main feature".

Yeah, I know. I just thought it amusing that it was ever the case!
